After a sound bath, it’s common to feel deeply relaxed or even emotional. Drink plenty of water, rest when possible, and take time to integrate your experience. Gentle movement, journaling, or time in nature can help you reconnect and ground.
Honoring the Roots of Sound Healing
Sound as a form of healing, meditation, and ceremony is an ancient practice with deep cultural and spiritual significance around the world. Many Indigenous cultures, as well as traditions from Tibet, India, Africa, and Aboriginal Australia, have used sound through chanting, drumming, singing bowls, and vibration for centuries as a way to restore harmony within the body and spirit.
This offering is held with gratitude and humility for those lineages and the wisdom they have carried forward. My intention is to share sound healing in a way that is trauma-informed, respectful, and accessible to all participants.
